Tires Maxxis or OEM Subaru
Reviews
DHR II in the back, Assegai in the front is pretty good.
Pros: pretty good
I used to buy CEAT, MRF and APOLLO before. For my Himalayan Apollo was the worst in terms of wet grip. Am trying Maxxiss RN and it's the best in Budget
Pros: best in Budget
Cons: Apollo worst wet grip
Rekon is fantastic front tire for light trail/technical XC
Pros: fantastic front tire
If you know how to handle your bike the rekon race is fine up front. I raced that with an aspen out back at the 50 mile xc race up in Bend where it was dusty all day. I was also passing many people on the downhills.
Pros: fine front tire
I ride with 2.35" tires front and rear on my Ripmo, one that's a little beefier up front (Schwalbe Nobby Nic) and something that rolls better in the rear (Schwalbe Racing Ralph).
The bike came with Maxxis Assegai front and rear and for the first few rides I regretted getting the bike because it felt like such a pig. The lighter tires make pedaling on flat sections and climbs *so much* more enjoyable, and I can still push it on the descents.
Pros: lighter tires, more enjoyable
Cons: felt like a pig
Well I have a 24 Limited with the 20s and live 2 miles up a dirt road. The tires are fine to me. I have an outback and tundra with 18s and don't notice much difference.
Pros: tires are fine
Cons: dust pools in door wells
Vehicle:
Subaru
I run 29x2.4 Ikon/Aspen on hardpack and it serves me well. The Aspen at first was more nervous over roots but I think I was running too high a pressure and it’s much better. The Ikon is just my jack of all trades XC tire; not good or bad at anything.
Pros: jack of all trades
Cons: nervous over roots
Im running using Conti Soft Enduro kyrp front and Forekaster out back in EXO+, the Maxxis casing is so soft it feels weird riding up an down but is quick.
Pros: quick
Cons: casing is so soft
Tires not lasting. Needed to replace them at 12k miles and I’m not super hard on the car
Cons: tires not lasting, early replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 12000 km
Maxxis have become worse and worse in my experience. I switched to Conti tires, they are soooo much better.
Pros: Conti tires much better
Cons: Maxxis worse and worse
